Corporate History
The Company was incorporated as “Arcom” under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 26, 2016. Arcom has only one officer and director who is Hui Liu Ping. We are engaged in the production of wood-manufactured bow ties in China, Hunan Province.
On October 26, 2016, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to Hui Liu Ping. The value of these shares is $3,000 based on the par value of $0.001 per share of common stock.
On October 27, 2016, we consummated an agreement with CNC MACHINERY CHINA CO., LTD for the purchase of equipment to be used in our bow tie production. The Company has purchased Engraving Cnc Machine, Model STO CNC 6090 from above mentioned vendor.
Arcom is an innovative company that has reinvented the classic bow tie. Derived from a collaboration of creative and tasteful minds, the bow tie is an accessory created for a daring new generation of men set to express themselves with originality and flair. The idea was developed in China. Looking to fill a void in men’s accessories, we developed handcrafted bow ties that fuse old school craftsmanship with modern style. The efforts resulted in an innovative and superior product that established wood as a new and distinctive material in the fashion industry. The bow ties are made from a variety of rare and exotic pieces of hardwood. A range of diverse patterns such as argyle, plaid, polka dot, and more are laser etched into the wood making them both increasingly unique and attractive. Each bow tie also incorporates an array of fine fabrics, resulting in a truly special accessory.
As a Nevada corporation with operations in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), we are considered a foreign-invested enterprise (“FIE”) under Chinese law. As such, we are subject to PRC regulations, which are generally lengthy, and our expected future expenses associated with complying with those regulations will be substantial. Even though a recent change in PRC law allows FIEs to establish operations in China without governmental preapproval, we are still required to file periodically regarding the establishment of our operations in China, increasing or decreasing our capital, selling equities or terminating operations in China, and we have not yet done so. Please see our Risk Factors beginning on Page 15, particularly the risk factor entitled, “Chinese regulations restrict foreign involvement in companies with China-based operations, and compliance with Chinese regulations will be costly.”

Bow Tie History
The bow tie has Croatian roots, dating back to the 17th century. Croatian mercenaries used neckwear, similar to scarves, called the cravat, to hold the collars of their shirts together. These were rapidly adopted by the French upper class who were known as leaders in fashion at the time. Over time, the cravat evolved into the men’s neckwear we know today. At the turn of the century, bow ties were an essential part of formal “full-dress” attire. By the 1900s, the bow tie became a staple in men’s fashion, often worn by surgeons and those in academia. While the bow tie fell out of everyday fashion after the Second World War, it has remained a customary part of formal attire to this day.
Fast-forward to the present and you will see that the bow tie has stepped out of its stuffy stereotype. In recent years, the bow tie has regained some of its former popularity among fashionable men. Even women are getting in on the trend and are sometimes seen sporting men’s attire, complete with suit and bow tie. Today, you’ll find men incorporating a bow tie into outfits for a variety of events: work, cocktail parties, and casual every day wear.
There are three types of bow ties: self-tie, pre-tied, and clip-on.
Self-Tie Bow Tie
Sometimes known as "freestyle," the self-tie bow tie is the classic style and has an organic look when tied. It can be challenging to tie a self-tie bow tie the first few times, but the payoff is well worth the effort.
Pre-Tied Bow Tie
At the name suggests, a pre-tied bow tie comes pre-tied and the knot is sewn in place. It is easy to put on but any bow tie aficionado will be able to spot the difference.
Clip-on Bow Tie
Clip-on bow ties clip directly onto the collar of your shirt. This style is the least convincing and is most appropriate for small children. There are several types of bow tie shapes, including butterfly, big butterfly, batwing, diamond point, and club round.
Arcom plans to focus its attention first of all on the clip-on bow tie in various shapes. This type of bow tie has a lot of advantages, as it is easy to fit on different neck sizes, and also easy to wear, because of the clip, which all of our initial ties will have. We believe that this unique unisex accessory has the potential to become popular in the near future.
Equipment and Raw Materials
As of the date, the Company has in use a milling and engraving CNC machine, model STO CNC 6090. This machine is important to our production, as it has excellent speed and accuracy, and can perform a variety of tasks. Thanks to a convenient NcStudio management system, accurate mechanical structure, high speed copying, and 3D carving, this CNC machine is everything we need in one unit for our bow tie manufacturing process.
Arcom has purchased following raw materials from the same vendor as CNC machine. The materials primarily consist the following oak wood, elastic band, craft paper, fabric, needle and thread and wood varnish. These materials, together with walnut, rosewood, oak, and maple are sourced from CNC MACHINERY CHINA CO., LTD. We are checking the availability of raw materials while ordering the materials. The above-mentioned raw materials are all necessary for our bow ties production and distribution. There was also purchased different kind of wrapping paper from another vendor Bag & Box Packaging Company, Ltd.
Manufacturing Process
Our manufacturing process in general can be described as below:
The most important stage is to choose the wood from which the bow ties will be manufactured. We use walnut, rosewood, oak, and maple in the beginning of our operations. After we choose the wood the layout is drawn. After this the wood is cut in accordance with the layout that was drawn previously. Further, when the billet is ready it is sanded, to prevent irregularities and make the surface smooth. If requested we can provide a special design on the bow tie, though this step adds to production time. The final step is applying a fabric in the middle and as a rim for the ties. We also use leather, denim, and cotton as a main fabric for our bow ties.

Webpage and Marketing
The sales strategy will be based on communicating that owning an Arcom product, either a mass-market fashion piece or a high-end custom-made model, is a source of pride and appreciation. Memorable products by Arcom attract attention, as a piece of style always staying in sight, be it an individual customer or large corporate client in the fashion industry. Our products may also be considered a long-term investment since the life cycle of our products is rather lengthy and the design stays up-to-date almost infinitely. Additionally, we plan to affix every product, including those distributed via retail points, with a business card with information about Arcom, information about the product, and Company contact details. In order to enhance the feeling of uniqueness of our products, we may also indicate a unique reference number on the business card to accompany each Arcom product.
We plan to distribute our products via several distribution channels simultaneously. With regards to the fashion segment, we plan to cooperate with retailers (wedding accessory, celebration present, etc.) and wholesalers (fashion expeditions, designer companies and style magazines).
Individual and corporate clients will be brought in thanks to our prospective webpage, advertising in crowded areas, and other online promotion of our Company. In the case of large corporate clients, we also plan to focus on personal contacts with public relations departments of large companies, presentations of our products, distribution of promotional leaflets, free samples, and other measures to facilitate brand awareness.
Among others, we also intend to use such marketing strategies as web advertisements, direct mailing, and phone calls to acquire potential customers. We plan to develop a website to market and display our products. As of the date of this prospectus we have already purchased a website (www.arcomcorp.com) and plan to develop it. To accomplish this, we plan to contract an independent web designing company. Our website will describe our product in detail, show our contact information, and include some general information and pictures of our laser engraved products, available designs, etc. We intend to attract traffic to our website by a variety of online marketing tactics such as registering with top search engines using selected key words and meta-tags and utilizing link and banner exchange options. We intend to promote our website by displaying it on our promotion materials.
We also plan to attend some trade shows and fashion exhibitions to show our products with a view to find new customers. We intend to continue our marketing efforts during the life of our operations. We intend to spend from $5,500 to $8,000 on marketing efforts during the first year. There is no guarantee that we will be able to attract or retain enough customers to justify our expenditures. If we are unable to generate a significant amount of revenue and successfully protect ourselves against those risks, then it would materially affect our financial condition and our business could be harmed.
Office Facilities
The Company leases a 37-square meter office space located at Hezhou N Rd 12, Hecheng Qu, Huaihua Shi, Hunan Sheng, China, 418000. The lease contract was signed for a one-year term with the option of expansion for an additional one-year term.
Competitors
There are many well-established manufacturing, distribution and wholesale sales companies in our industry like Bow Tie House TM, Shengzhou Handsome Textiles Co., Ltd., and Yiwu Eco Baoyu E-Business Firm. We face the same difficulty that a lot of competitors in our same field are present on such sites as Tao Bao, Ali Express and others. We expect to face medium to high levels of resistance when we enter the market, where it will be up to our marketing efforts and negotiation skills to acquire new customers. Most of our competitors have greater financial resources than we do and will be able to withstand sales or price decreases better than we can. We also expect to continue to face competition from new market entrants. We may be unable to continue to compete effectively with these existing or new competitors, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Risks We May Face and Other Information
Under Paragraph 2 of Article 2 of the People’s Republic of China Corporate Income Tax Law (the “Corporate Income Law”), any foreign enterprise which shall constitute a resident enterprise shall meet both of the following requirements: (i) such enterprise was established under the laws of foreign countries or regions; and (ii) the actual management of such enterprise must be located within China. Further, under relevant provisions of the Circular of the State Administration of Taxation Regarding the Issues Relevant to the Identification of Chinese-controlled Enterprises Registered Abroad as Resident Enterprises by Actual Management (Guo Shui Fa [2009] No. 82, “Circular No. 82”) issued by the State Administration of Taxation on April 22, 2009 and based upon our no-name inquiry to the People’s Republic of China State Administration for Taxation, any Chinese-controlled enterprise whose actual management is held to be located within China shall satisfy all of the following requirements: (i) the site, where the management of such enterprise responsible for the daily operation of such enterprise performs its duties, is located within China; (ii) the financial decisions (such as borrowings, extending loans, financing or financial risks management) and HR policies (such as appointment, dismissal or remunerations) shall be made or approved by the institution or personnel of such enterprise staying within China; (iii) 1/2 or more of the directors with voting rights or of the management of such enterprise live within China permanently; and (iv) the main assets, accounting books and stamps of and the minutes and files of the board of directors of and of shareholders’ meeting of such enterprise exist and will be maintained within China.
6
We believe that we are not considered a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. We have no subsidiaries within China. We have our executive office in China, which were unincorporated entities under Chinese laws, and all of our management is located within China. We make or approve the financial decisions (such as borrowing, extending loans, financing or financial risks management) and human resource policies (such as employees’ appointment, dismissal and remunerations) within China, and half or more of our directors with voting rights are also located within China. Our main assets, accounting books, stamps and minutes of our directors’ board and of our shareholders’ meetings exist and will be maintained in outside the USA, so we are consistent with Item (iv) of the above four requirements under Circular No. 82 although our present conditions satisfy Items (i) to (iii) of the above requirements under Circular No. 82. Therefore, we are an enterprise established under the laws of Nevada, and our management team is located within China, we believe that we shall not be held to be a “resident enterprise” for PRC under the Corporate Income Tax Law.
Nevertheless, we cannot fully exclude the possibility that there is a difference or discrepancy between the interpretation of the Chinese authorities and our understanding as set forth above, nor can we assure that the statements or interpretations of the Chinese government officials will remain unchanged. Furthermore, we cannot exclude the possibility that the Chinese government will promulgate any new laws, regulations or provisions that will be in conflict with our understanding. If so, we may be classified as a ‘‘resident enterprise’’ for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, which could result in unfavorable tax consequences to our non-PRC shareholders and us.
If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations.
If we are considered a resident enterprise, this could result in a situation in which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC enterprise shareholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC enterprise shareholders from transferring our shares and a 20% withholding tax on dividends we pay to our non-PRC individual stockholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC individual stockholders from transferring our shares. If we are required under PRC law to withhold PRC income tax on dividends payable to our non-PRC investors or if you are required to pay PRC income tax on the transfer of our shares, the value of your investment in our shares may be materially and adversely affected.
Government policies are subject to rapid change and the government of China may adopt policies that have the effect of hindering private economic activity and greater economic decentralization. There is no assurance that the government of China will not significantly alter its policies from time to time without notice in a manner with reduces or eliminates any benefits from its present policies of economic reform. In addition, a substantial portion of productive assets in China remains government-owned. For instance, all lands are state owned and government state-owned lands grant use rights to business entities or individuals.
The granting process is typically based on government policies at the time of granting, which could be lengthy and complex. This process may adversely affect our business. The government of China also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Uncertainties may arise with changing of governmental policies and measures. In addition, changes in laws and regulations, or their interpretation, or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports and sources of supply, devaluations of currency, the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises, as well as adverse changes in the political, economic or social conditions in China, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay- offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in China. We can make no assurance, however, that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
7
We may experience barriers to conducting business and trade in our targeted emerging markets in the form of delayed customs clearances, customs duties and tariffs. In addition, we may be subject to repatriation taxes levied upon the exchange of income from local currency into foreign currency, substantial taxes of profits, revenues, assets and payroll, as well as value-added tax.
The markets in which we plan to operate may impose onerous and unpredictable duties, tariffs and taxes on our business and products, and there can be no assurance that this will not reduce the level of sales that we achieve in such markets, which would reduce our revenues and profits.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES
We have not incurred any research expenditures since our incorporation.
BANKRUPTCY OR SIMILAR PROCEEDINGS
There has been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding entered into either voluntarily by the Company and involuntarily against the Company.
REORGANIZATIONS, PURCHASE OR SALE OF ASSETS

COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the construction and operation of any facility in any jurisdiction which we would conduct activities.
We do not believe that any existing or probable government regulation on our business, including any applicable export or import regulation or control imposed by China will have a material impact on the way we conduct our business.
EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
We have no employees, except our sole officer and director Hui Liu Ping, as of the date of this prospectus. Our sole officer and director, Hui Liu Ping, currently devotes approximately 20 hours per week to company matters. After receiving funding, Ms. Hui Liu Ping plans to devote as much time to the operation of the Company as she determines is necessary for her to manage the affairs of the Company. As our business and operations increase, we will assess the need for full-time management and administrative support personnel.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
Market Information
There is a limited public market for our common shares. Our common shares are not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board at this time.

We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.
OTC Bulletin Board securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Bulletin Board securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Bulletin Board issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Our audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Results of Operations for the year ended October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016:
Revenue and cost of goods sold
For the year ended October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016 the Company generated total revenue of $21,430 and $0 from selling products to the customer. The cost of goods sold for the year ended October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016 was $644 and $0, which represent the cost of raw materials.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016 were $37,855 and $120. The operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2017 included advertising expense of $5,000; bank charges of $1,305; depreciation expense of $1,415; legal fees of $4,817; audit fees of $11,831; office supplies of $3,500; professional fees of $7,617; rent expense of $2,160. The operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2016 included bank charges of $120.
Net Loss
The net loss for the year ended October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016 was $17,069 and $120 accordingly.
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Cash Requirements
At year ended October 31, 2017, the Company had cash of $7,415 ($1,020 as of October 31, 2016). The Company had a working capital deficit of $1,864 (deficit of $2,080 as of October 31, 2016).
During the year ended October 31, 2017, the Company used $26,275 of cash in operating activities due to its net loss, increase in inventory of $10,621and depreciation of $1,415. This compares to cash used in operations of $120 in 2016.
During the year ended October 31, 2017 the Company used $12,610 of cash in investing activities. This compares to cash used in investing activities of $4,960 in 2016.
During the year ended October 31, 2017, the Company generated $45,280 of cash in financing activities. This compares to cash provided by financing activites of $6,100 in 2016.
We cannot guarantee that we will manage to sell all the shares required. We will attempt to raise the necessary funds to proceed with all phases of our plan of operation.
As of the date of this report, the current funds available to the Company will not be sufficient to continue maintaining a reporting status. The Company’s sole officer and director, Hui Liu Ping, has concluded a verbal agreement with Arcom in order to fund completion of the registration process and to maintain the reporting status with SEC.
Our auditors have issued a “going concern” opinion, meaning that there is substantial doubt we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital. Our only sources for cash at this time are investments by others in this offering, selling our paper dung products and loans from our director. We must raise cash to implement our plan and stay in business.
Management believes that current trends toward lower capital investment in start-up companies pose the most significant challenge to the Company’s success over the next year and in future years. Additionally, the Company will have to meet all the financial disclosure and reporting requirements associated with being a publicly reporting company. The Company’s management will have to spend additional time on policies and procedures to make sure it is compliant with various regulatory requirements, especially that of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This additional corporate governance time required of management could limit the amount of time management has to implement is business plan and impede the speed of its operations.

Limited operating history; need for additional capital
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Arcom
We have audited the accompanying balances sheet of Arcom (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2017 and 2016 and the related statements of operations, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the period from inception (September 26, 2016) to October 31, 2016. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Arcom as of October 31, 2017 and 2016 and the related statements of operations, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2017 and for the period from inception (September 26, 2016) to October 31, 2016, in conformity accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Arcom (“the Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporate in the State of Nevada on September 26, 2016. Arcom is an innovative company that has reinvented the classic bow tie. Derived from a collaboration of creative and tasteful minds, the bow tie is an accessory created for a daring new generation of men set to express themselves with originality and flair. The efforts resulted in an innovative and superior product that established wood as a new and distinctive material in the fashion industry. Each of our bow ties also incorporates an array of fine fabrics resulting in a truly special accessory.
Note 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company had revenues $21,430 as of October 31, 2017. The Company currently has losses and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses The Company intends to position itself so that it will be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management’s efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.
Note 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company’s yearend is October 31.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had $7,415 of cash as of October 31, 2017 and $1,020 of cash as of October 31, 2016.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid Expenses are recorded at fair market value. The Company had $0 in prepaid expenses as of October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined using the first-in, first out (FIFO) method. The Company had $10,621 in raw materials inventory as of October 31, 2017 and $0 in raw materials inventory as of October 31, 2016.
Depreciation, Amortization, and Capitalization
The Company records depreciation and amortization when appropriate using straight-line balance method over the estimated useful life of the assets. We estimate that the useful life of equipment is 5 years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, major renewals and replacements that increase the property's useful life are capitalized. Property sold or retired, together with the related accumulated depreciation is removed from the appropriated accounts and the resultant gain or loss is included in net income.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
AS topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
18
ARCOM
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
These tiers include:
Level 1: |
defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
Level 2: |
defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; |
Level 3: |
defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. |
The carrying value of cash and the Company’s loan from shareholder approximates its fair value due to their short-term maturity.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification No. 605, “Revenue Recognition” ("ASC-605"), ASC-605 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company will defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of October 31, 2017, there were no potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments issued or outstanding.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), exclusive of transactions with owners, such as capital investments. Comprehensive income includes net income or loss, changes in certain assets and liabilities that are reported directly in equity such as translation adjustments on investments in foreign subsidiaries and unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities. As of October 31, 2017, were no differences between our comprehensive loss and net loss.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company.
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This guidance changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. Among other things, under the new guidance, companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in-capital (“APIC”), but will instead record such items as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement, and APIC pools will be eliminated. Companies will apply this guidance prospectively. Another component of the new guidance allows companies to make an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards, whereby forfeitures can be estimated, as required today, or recognized when they occur. If elected, the change to recognize forfeitures when they occur needs to be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. All of the guidance will be effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, if any, on its financial statements and related disclosures.
19
ARCOM
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which issued new guidance related to leases that outlines a comprehensive lease accounting model and supersedes the current lease guidance. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets for all leases with lease terms of greater than 12 months. It also changes the definition of a lease and expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. The new guidance must be adopted using the modified retrospective approach and will be effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, if any, on its financial statements and related disclosures. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.
The guidance requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation, rather than the lower of cost or market in the previous guidance. This amendment applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO). This amendment is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years. A reporting entity should apply the amendments prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the standard by an additional year; however, it provided companies the option to adopt one year earlier, commensurate with the original effective date. Accordingly, the standard will be effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018, with an option to adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning November 1, 2017. The Company plans to adopt the standard after evaluating the effect of the standard on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 4 – LOAN FROM DIRECTOR
As of October 31, 2017, our sole director has loaned to the Company $19,900. This loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.
The balance due to the director was $19,900 as of October 31, 2017.
Note 5 – COMMON STOCK
The Company has 75,000,000, $0.001 par value shares of common stock authorized.
On October 26, 2016 the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock to a director for cash proceeds of $3,000 at $0.001 per share.
In June 2017, the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $198 at approximately $0.02 per share.
In July 2017, the Company issued 1,265,000 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $25,019 at approximately $0.02 per share.
In August 2017, the Company issued 165,000 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $3,263 at approximately $0.02 per share.
There were 4,440,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2017.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Company has entered into one-year rental agreement for a $180 monthly fee, starting on November 1, 2016.
Note 7 – REVENUE
Since inception to October 31, 2017, the Company has generated $21,430 revenue; all of which comes from sale of bowties to retailers. No liability for returns or warranties has been recognized, as no return policy is offered.
Note 8 – INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted the provisions of uncertain tax positions as addressed in ASC 740-10-65-1. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10-65-1, the Company recognized no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of October 31, 2017, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $17,189 that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income in varying amounts through 2031. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.
The valuation allowance at October 31, 2017 was approximately $3,585. The net change in valuation allowance during the year ended October 31, 2017 was $3,585. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.
The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on consideration of these items, management has determined that enough uncertainty exists relative to the realization of the deferred income tax asset balances to warrant the application of a full valuation allowance as of October 31, 2017. All tax years since inception remains open for examination by taxing authorities.
The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following for the year Ended October 31, 2017 and for the period from inception (September 26, 2016) to October 31, 2016:

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None
Item 9A(T) Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2017 using the criteria established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2017, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
1. We do not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial statement. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities.
2. We did not maintain appropriate cash controls – As of October 31, 2017, the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions, and did not require dual signature on the Company’s bank accounts. Alternatively, the effects of poor cash controls were mitigated by the fact that the Company had limited transactions in their bank accounts.
3. We did not implement appropriate information technology controls – As at October 31, 2017, the Company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements; however there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company’s data or off-site storage of data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors.
Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2017 based on criteria established in Internal Control- Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
System of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
22
An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2017. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Age |
Positions |
Hui Liu Ping Yanggu’ao Town, Lei Feng Village, Unit 4, No. 20 Hunan Province, Longhui County 422200 China |

President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director |
Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business experience of our executive officers and directors for the past five years.
Hui Liu Ping
Ms. Hui Liu Ping has served as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director since September 26, 2016. For the past five years the director worked in the fashion industry. Ms. Hui Liu Ping’s desire to found our company led to our conclusion that Ms. Hui Liu Ping should be serving as a member of our board of directors in light of our business and structure.
For the period from May 2010 to October 2014 Ms. Hui Liu Ping worked for Alimo Accessory Co., Ltd, wholesale imitation jewelry company, as a senior manager of marketing team. At her responsibilities were organizing of the advertising exhibitions, managing was of several employees, preparation of the weekly, monthly and year reports regarding sales quantity and customers database development. From November 2014 till August 2016 our sole officer and director worked for Silou Ma Textile Co., Ltd, clothing company, as a head of customers department manager. She fulfilled the work of finding new customer, communication with excising customers, composing orders for the customers, managing and controlling customers database. She is not working for Silou Ma Textile Co., Ltd currently. Ms. Hui Liu Ping is only involved in activities of Arcom.
TERM OF OFFICE
All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. The Company's Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors will consist of a minimum of one member. Officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
23
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Our board of directors is currently composed of one member, and she does not qualify as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market (the Company has no plans to list on the NASDAQ Global Market). The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of her family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to our director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by directors and us with regard to our director's business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to our management and us.
SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS
We currently have one employee, our sole officer, Hui Liu Ping.
AUDIT COMMITTEE AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board of Directors established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is a start-up stage company and has only one director, and to date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.
Other than as described above, we are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.
INVOLVEMENT IN CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
No director, person nominated to become a director, executive officer, promoter or control person of our company has, during the last ten years: (i) been convicted in or is currently subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to any federal or state securities or banking or commodities laws including, without limitation, in any way limiting involvement in any business activity, or finding any violation with respect to such law, nor (iii) any bankruptcy petition been filed by or against the business of which such person was an executive officer or a general partner, whether at the time of the bankruptcy or for the two years prior thereto.
